Star Forge SWTOR Roleplay Archive Charter

The Star Forge Archive exists to accomplish the following objectives:

• Document original SWTOR roleplay characters

• Maintain chronological alignment within the SWTOR timeline (3653–3620 BBY)

The Archive functions as a long-term continuity reference system, independent of transient platforms or temporary event systems.

Characters must remain appropriate to the SWTOR era in tone, technological level, and political context.

2. Lore Alignment Principle

All content must remain consistent with established SWTOR-era lore.

The following are permitted:

• Original narrative developments

• Era-consistent speculative detail

• Allegiance-aligned backstory elements

The following are not permitted:
